(OFF)BALANCE: Art in the Age of Human Impact invites viewers to explore the intricate ways we interact with, interpret, and shape our environment — both internal and external. The exhibition challenges audiences to reflect on themes of transformation, human intervention and the tension between destruction and conservation. The works highlight the ways in which human involvement in the environment is both essential and disruptive as it shapes the Anthropocene era.
The University Museum of Contemporary Art’s annual graduate curatorial exhibition is the culmination of a year-long independent project supported since 2021 by the Eva Fierst Student Curatorial Exhibition Fund.
This exhibition is co-curated by Adeyemi Adebayo, MFA studio arts candidate; Eva Barajas, MA art education candidate; and Bo Kim, MFA studio arts candidate.
Please register in advance. Event is free and open to all.
